Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My sister has been a resident at the care home for a number of years and is happy and contented in general.
I feel that the levels of service are good and the standard of food would appear to be satisfactory. There does, however, appear to have been a large turnover in staff which I don't always feel
gives confidence to the resident.
On a personal level, my sister did experience an attack on herself by another resident with injuries to her head and face. I was not particularly happy how this incident was handled, however, the staff vigilance does seem to have improved since.

Review from Dorothy H (Friend of Resident) published on 17 May 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My friend was admitted to the dementia unit of Appleton Manor in August 2016. The home was well organised with the staff working well together.
However, in June 2017 the manager left, followed in quick succession by the nurse, the dementia unit manager and several senior carers. This led to a slow
decline in standards as agency replacements were brought in.
However, during the past months, vacancies have been filled by permanent staff and standards together with the general atmosphere in the home have dramatically improved.

Although my husband was only in Appleton Manor Care Home for 8 days, he received the best care possible. All members of staff treated him with kindness, compassion and respect. His needs were fully and effectively assessed which ensured his last few days were as comfortable and peaceful as possible,
for which I and his family are profoundly grateful.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Staff are excellent, although sometimes a little busy with residents. The environment is excellent, with my mother's room being deep cleaned today, smelling very fresh. It would have been nice if the room had been painted prior to my mother being cared for. Unfortunately, there is always a smell
of urine within the premises. My mother is always being well looked after, within difficult circumstances.
Reply from Julie Sutton, Area Director at Appleton Manor Care Home

Thank you for the positive feedback about the staff at Appleton Manor. It is lovely to hear that you feel your mother is always well looked after.
We are currently replacing some carpets as despite the very best efforts of our housekeeping team we have been unable to eliminate the odour on the first floor. This work is being carried out as a matter of urgency. We are also reviewing décor in residents’ rooms and implementing a programme of redecoration.
Thank you again for your feedback.

My mum has been a resident in Appleton Manor for nearly 4 years. She sadly passed away due to her Alzheimers two weeks ago, but the staff at A.M made her final weeks and days as comfortable as they could.
The care and compassion shown by all staff, not only to my mum but my dad, brother and myself
when we visited was excellent. I cannot thank them enough and will always be grateful to them.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident of Appleton Manor for approximately 3 years. In that time the care she has received has been excellent and as her condition worsened and her needs changed, the care has tailored to suit her needs. At the end, all the staff were very supportive in what was a very sad and
stressful time for our family. I cannot thank all the staff enough for the care they provided for my mother, and it felt like they were part of our extended family.

Efficient, friendly, supportive, professional, understanding, compassionate, warm, accommodating are all of the words I would use to describe the staff from carers to admin to nursing staff. Every step of the way I was advised about my father's care.
Their concerns, medical decisions and general welfare
were always discussed. Not once was I worried that my father was receiving anything other than 5-star service. I have and cannot thank everyone enough for everything they do to ensure my father's last weeks were comfortable.

I was dreading going to see my Aunt today, placed in Appleton Manor Care Home in an emergency whilst I was away.
All my worries removed in an instant.
I went unannounced and was welcomed by an extremely friendly and obliging manager.
My Aunt was the happiest she has been in a long time.
I was
introduced to someone who I think is the manager of the second floor. A lovely person, on a day off, but took time out to assist me.
Finally, the all important small print. All my concerns were dealt with in a friendly and professional manner.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I found the care home to be first class. The main thing I was concerned about as any other person would be having to put someone in care, was the actual care. I found the staff very approachable and my father received excellent care. Sadly my father is no longer with us having passed away in December.
The care home accommodated three of the family while my father was in his last days. They couldn't have treated my father any better than they did. Nothing was too much trouble for them or for us. I would highly recommend this home.

My husband and I have been married 64 years and it was so hard to accept he needed permanent professional care. He has resided at Appleton just over 12 months and I cannot praise the management and staff enough for the loving care he has received there. I have peace of mind knowing he is safe, well
looked after and is content in what I am sure, he now realises is his home. I would not hesitate to recommend this care home to anyone.

My father arrived at the home beginning of the year 2016. The staff could not have done more to make my dad comfortable and cared for. They also show kindness, compassion and professionalism towards my mum and all our family members. It is a difficult time for all and I couldn't be more grateful to
Appleton Manor, management and staff. Nothing is too much trouble or time.

My husband has spent months in this care home. He has settled well because of the excellent care he receives from the staff. He is treated with dignity, respect and when appropriate humour. Every attempt has been made to engage my husband in meaningful but fun activities. His constant wandering day
and night is coped with using patience and kindness. This care home has been a real help to myself and our daughters. We can visit anytime, the staff are available to talk to us and very often comfort us as we found my husbands going into a home very difficult. The manager and her staff eased the process.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident at Appleton Manor for 6 years as she has Alzheimer's. There have been problems for the last 4 years (first 2 fine) mainly due to not having a permanent manager for 2 years. The home has improved tremendously in all aspects i.e staff and morale, efficiency, organisation,
activities and generally. This is due to the current managers influence and strong leadership. Thank you. I feel much more confident and secure regarding my mother's care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
There are one or two minor issues at Appleton Manor regarding personal items (clothing, photos, TV remote) going missing and other residents wandering in and out of my mums room.
However, this does not distract from the wonderful care my mum received until she passed away. She and the family were
treated with the utmost care, dignity and patience during her stay and especially as her life came to an end.
I would especially like to mention the unit manager and senior carer for their wonderful assistance but also add that all of mums carers have been fantastic as has the manager at the home.

My mother was admitted in an emergency situation one evening, the manager greeted mum and myself, she was very kind and reassuring. The staff settled mum in with such kindness, as if they had known her for years, very friendly.
Mum has been here for one week, I have visited every day. All the staff

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.820)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.820) out of 10 for Appleton Manor Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.820 for Appleton Manor Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (216 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 261 Ratings = 4.82
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Appleton Manor Care Home is based on 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 59 registered maximum number of service users is 11.8, which has been reached with 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
